I would not normally do this. I am terrible at asking and raising money. Terrible. Money is something I don't even like to think about if possible. So that's a lot of pressure for an introvert like me. Also, group running is against my introvert nature as well. So why am I considering it? My amazing church is running a program and I love this church. I love this project and I love those people. Also, even though I am sloooow I love running. So here I am contemplating.....<br /><br />This weeks workout-<br />Run walk 30 minutes<br />M-F<br />Swim laps- 20 min on Friday<br />Body weight strength train- M W F<br /><br />Menu-<br />Sunday- Biscuits and veggie sausage gravy. Broccoli cheese soup with sour dough. Steak and mashed potatoes with gravy. Baked zucchini chocolate bread.<br /><br />Monday- cookie dough yogurt (fage, sunflower seed butter,honey,vanilla, and mini chocolate chips). Leftovers for Lunch this week with cut up fruit and yogurt for me. Pre-prepared salads for hubby. Subs for big boy. Little guy gets organic lunch at school. Easy chicken-and vegetarian pot pies. (I use biscuits)<br /><br />Tuesday-<br />Cookie dough yogurt. Spicy Asian noodles with cilantro, green onions, and cashews. (pinterest) Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Baked. Homade spaghetti os for baby. (Use blended veggie soup - and spaghetti sauce with cheese and ditalini pasta). <br /><br />Wednesday-<br />Cookie dough yogurt. Tortellini crock pot soup from pinterest.<br /><br />Thursday-<br />Cookie dough yogurt. Breaded baked crispy ravioli.<br /><br />Friday-<br />Cookie Dough Yogurt. Pizza night. <br /><br />Saturday-<br />Leftovers until shopping trip.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754004259507821287.post-79180069116381160892012-11-13T10:59:00.001-08:002012-11-13T10:59:45.155-08:00Attachment parenting gone wildI have a high needs baby. I have taken all the checklist tests. It's confirmed. I may have made a terrible miscalculation. My attachment parenting style (aka I get no sleep style) means that we are attached all right. We are all night can't wean nursing attached. It's beautiful and exhausting. I want sleep but I enjoy my baby close to me. We reconnect after a day of being separated. Oh what to do? <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6QfbcOGQsG8/UKKYnqYzO_I/AAAAAAAAAEw/QUY2FPLlJP4/s640/blogger-image--1439751742.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6QfbcOGQsG8/UKKYnqYzO_I/AAAAAAAAAEw/QUY2FPLlJP4/s640/blogger-image--1439751742.jpg" /></a></div>halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754004259507821287.post-75984473656684798152012-11-12T10:03:00.001-08:002012-11-12T10:03:39.984-08:00Sooo Proud!Well I did it! I ran the one year postpartum half marathon! I am so proud! I was so nervous. I had no real idea what my pace would be since I did all of my training with the bob stroller. I did better than I expected. With a little over two and a half hours. I have plans to run the turkey trot. Hubby and I will run it since the Halloween 5k we did together went well. I bought a weather cover for the bob that should help the baby stay nice and dry! <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-kwX9o26LK0E/UKE58oKN58I/AAAAAAAAAEA/ibXr4JOPNqQ/s640/blogger-image--807320769.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-kwX9o26LK0E/UKE58oKN58I/AAAAAAAAAEA/ibXr4JOPNqQ/s640/blogger-image--807320769.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-saAGX9sTZqU/UKE59NFWgRI/AAAAAAAAAEI/d2hm1FnpB6Q/s640/blogger-image--694012920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-saAGX9sTZqU/UKE59NFWgRI/AAAAAAAAAEI/d2hm1FnpB6Q/s640/blogger-image--694012920.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Wn-4RyTW7Bo/UKE59rtAhBI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/Oj0--dNMvDw/s640/blogger-image--1968276097.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Wn-4RyTW7Bo/UKE59rtAhBI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/Oj0--dNMvDw/s640/blogger-image--1968276097.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-zDoPkLXpeS4/UKE5-MWWzbI/AAAAAAAAAEY/_AZ2yfFe-6M/s640/blogger-image-856526557.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-zDoPkLXpeS4/UKE5-MWWzbI/AAAAAAAAAEY/_AZ2yfFe-6M/s640/blogger-image-856526557.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sgS-95IPQVI/UKE5-tAi-mI/AAAAAAAAAEg/3dCVt2W25aI/s640/blogger-image-1565105473.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sgS-95IPQVI/UKE5-tAi-mI/AAAAAAAAAEg/3dCVt2W25aI/s640/blogger-image-1565105473.jpg" /></a></div>halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754004259507821287.post-41082550533296021332012-11-12T09:56:00.001-08:002012-11-12T09:56:07.776-08:00In HidingI have a half day of work today with veterans day!

So today is anti-birthday. Back to laundry and errands. Fun. My extra special favorite is Secretary of State. It's awesome. <br />Anyway....we are off for a run. Which I am feeling zero motivation. This morning starts with some coffee. <br />Do you ever feel distant from god? I have heard it called a desert period. I feel like its one of those days. I am trying to take an honest look tonight to see if sin has crept its way I between us. I think it has. It's called selfishness. I have been frustrated with myself. I am praying god helps me to act like him. The last will be first. I need to stop being a frustrated Martha. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fXg60qjoGX8/UCjzZ2-9JvI/AAAAAAAAADg/h8owTsavXEQ/s640/blogger-image--1479676854.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fXg60qjoGX8/UCjzZ2-9JvI/AAAAAAAAADg/h8owTsavXEQ/s640/blogger-image--1479676854.jpg" /></a></div>halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754004259507821287.post-31846868251026080922012-08-11T05:49:00.001-07:002012-08-11T05:50:00.902-07:00Well Hello FallI can't believe it's the end of Summer! Yikes! My big goal was to start blogging again as a diary of keeping me and my family on track. We got bad news with my older sons BMI so it's time to get back on track. No excuses. Hubby and I have been training to run walk the Detroit Free Press Marathon but I am going to be all alone on the training run this morning. Ugh. He says his foot is broken but I think it's because he's a wimp that played video games too late with the boys. We have five in the house right now with our sleepover and the baby. I am so out numbered. Anyway I am super excited bc for my birthday I got a nifty bike and trailer so I can pull pumpkin around town! Just what I wanted! <br />Hopefully older son and I can have some nice fall bike rides. As soon as we fix his chain this weekend! Now happening......<br />Morning hair and coffee! <br />We are officially Subaru lovers! Yay MPG! <br />It's 62 degrees today. Perfect for the running.

Pumpkin and I went for a three mile jog with the Bobb stroller. We took the dog and he actually behaved. It was amazing and weird. We had some firsts today like first sweet potato tasting, and first bath in the big tub! We ate at the Quarter Bistro in Ann Arbor. It was a decent brunch. I enjoyed the time with my family. Especially my brother who is leaving soon for Afghanistan. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HXoXpx1xlaM/T4H_RMgRGvI/AAAAAAAAAAw/Cer7sy_jxkw/s1600/IMG_8415.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" nda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HXoXpx1xlaM/T4H_RMgRGvI/AAAAAAAAAAw/Cer7sy_jxkw/s320/IMG_8415.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wGhOXejMQlU/T4H_bCh57TI/AAAAAAAAAA4/FwuXS5t0aTc/s1600/IMG_8468.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" nda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wGhOXejMQlU/T4H_bCh57TI/AAAAAAAAAA4/FwuXS5t0aTc/s320/IMG_8468.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div>halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754004259507821287.post-69511262656014792712012-04-06T07:21:00.000-07:002012-04-09T19:42:28.663-07:00Marathon?Now that the weather is getting warmer we are finally getting back out there. I really want to take advantage of the summer this year and try to train for a marathon. I am really nervous though because the last half I did was not a great experience. I picked a way to hard, way too hot, course and I was unprepared. I also did not properly hydrate during the run and my body was hit afterwards. I will not make that mistake again. I think that a good plan would be to try to train for some halfs this year. That way I can do it right and not feel so nervous.halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754004259507821287.post-25124839275493007542012-03-06T11:56:00.000-08:002012-04-09T19:42:28.681-07:00Running againI went on my first long run today. It was looong. Four miles at a very slow 12 mph pace. Its not like I am speedy normally but it felt like four miles took forever. My legs felt like they were weighted and every muscle is still hurting.halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754004259507821287.post-65488340119455766182011-11-10T06:35:00.000-08:002012-04-09T19:42:28.707-07:00Fuel BeltHow does a fuel belt work? I am drawn to this belt but I am not sure what to put in the cute bottles. I could have used this for water many times in the past&nbsp;but I am not sure about the idea of carrying it. Does it chafe? Does it bounce? Would it freeze in the winter? Also, I think most of my future running in the heat will include a jogging stroller that holds water just fine.&nbsp;I am contemplating asking for this for Christmas. That way its something I want but maybe not something I need to spend my own money on. That way if it bonks I will not have to think about the fourty dollars I have wasted. I did buy some yaktrax because living in Michigan that seems like a totally needed purchase if I plan to use the outdoors as my personal gym. <br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><img align="left" height="300" id="mainImage" name="mainImage" src="http://www.fuelbelt.com/core/media/media.nl?id=10661&amp;c=587521&amp;h=424bead814a1880994ee" width="405" /></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.yaktrax.com/img/pages/packaging/xtr.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.yaktrax.com/img/pages/packaging/xtr.png" style="position: relative; top: -250px;" /></a></div>halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754004259507821287.post-34778283050162108272011-10-24T07:55:00.000-07:002012-04-09T19:42:28.729-07:00Christian YogaI have been debating about going to this yoga studio down the street that specializes in Christian yoga. I am honestly not sure if I should though. I got really into yoga when I was living in another city. I felt like it was just not right how addicted I was becoming to this endevor. I just felt like I was not honoring Christ by practicing the moves that were meant to be praise for another religion. I looked into and bought Praise Moves. Its an alternative to yoga for Christians but I really did not like it&nbsp;because it was not a good workout for someone who&nbsp;was more advanced fitness level. It was not relaxing either so it did not fit that purpose in my workouts. It would be good for someone who was looking for a low impact,&nbsp;easy exercise routine.&nbsp;I have been reading articles and I am honestly torn. Can I use my body to praise Jesus using this yoga? Or is there no separating yoga from its Hindu roots? I am not sure if I will try a class or not. I continue to read about Christian yoga as I make my decision. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-yoga.html">http://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-yoga.html</a><br /><br /><a href="http://holyyoga.net/aboutholyyoga">http://holyyoga.net/aboutholyyoga</a><br /><br /><a href="http://praisemoves.com/about-us/why-a-christian-alternative-to-yoga/">http://praisemoves.com/about-us/why-a-christian-alternative-to-yoga/</a>halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754004259507821287.post-66852673858710850612011-10-21T16:09:00.000-07:002012-04-09T19:42:28.749-07:00First Post C-Section OutingToday I left the house! I was beginning to get into my OCD tendencies and honestly I was thinking that I might never leave the house again. I think I was happy about that. But the day must come where we stop eating take-out and I restock the kitchen with some food that is (somewhat) healthy. Also, my friend needed my big car to get her jogging stroller. So I finally left. It took about two hours of preparation and a last minute nursing top-off. It really was okay. I was fine, baby was fine, and all was fine with the world. We may leave the house again....(next week). <br /><br />I had a great Trader Joes trip where I got some of my favorites...<br /><br />Pesto and whole grain pasta with Parmesan&nbsp; (I can live on this stuff)<br />Stuff to make lentil tacos<br />S<span style="background-color: white;">ourdough bread and cheese</span><br />Butternut squash ravioli<br />Banana chocolate protein muffins<br />Pre-cut fruit and veggies<br />Pumpkin butter (Seasonal Amazing....)<br />Pumpkin pancake mix (amazing)<br />Baked chips<br />and the rest of my staples....eggs milk etc.halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754004259507821287.post-25389810451652088672011-10-18T06:35:00.000-07:002012-04-09T19:42:28.767-07:00No more sleep (for the next few months)I like any newborn parent am completely sleep deprived. Baby and I are sleeping about one hour or two hours at the most in between feedings. I had great plans to eat healthy during this time after birth and bounce back to my old self. This is laughable. I am at the mercy of whatever my husband gets from the grocery store. I have been eating doughnuts and caramel apples galore. I eat what I can grab during sleep times or when he is content and someone is holding him. I know that there are women who plan to have all sorts of healthy frozen meals planned and packed for the birth of their child. If I could go back I would not worry about meals at all. My husband and friends have been great about meals. I would however stock up on healthy grab and go snacks. I would have all sorts of stuff prepared to eat that is not junk. Stuff&nbsp;that is easy to grab and stuff into my mouth in about five minutes flat. <br />I love my Keurig coffee maker. Its amazing to at least have an easy cup of decaff hazelnut in the morning. No work required. I got it from my husband for my birthday and did not use it because I was not drinking coffee pregnant. I am now drinking one cup of decaf flavored coffee. I have not had it in so long I can actually feel the caffeine in the decaf. I am off to sleep a few minutes now before baby needs to eat again.halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754004259507821287.post-70315292293910606572011-10-16T07:59:00.000-07:002012-04-09T19:42:28.787-07:00How I plan to get off the couch....I just purchased a pair of yaktraks pro. They are like treads that you put on your shoes so that you can run in the snow and the ice. I plan on running in the winter here in Michigan (no time for the gym, and no money for the membership). My husbands membership is the only one we can afford and he goes religious on his lunch break. For me I prefer the gym out my front door. I also bought a running skirt from Skirtsports called the Ice Queen. Its a windproof number that will keep my legs and butt warm. I also purchased a new watch for dual purposes...see post above. These are my push presents to myself. <br /><br />I am going to follow this couch to 5K program from cool running.<br /><a href="http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml">http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml</a><br /><br />I have not run at all this pregnancy so I have no basic fitness to start with. I am thinking that this is a good starting place for me right now. <br />My 5k race will be Superbowl Sunday on Feb 6th. That's eight weeks after the all clear. <br /><br /><br /><!--You can also add daily run reminders to the Cool Running homepage.

More chocolate and candy. It was amazing to eat a turtle brought by my mother. I wish I had a few boxes for the really great nurses that worked on the labor and delivery floor. They were amazing and I wish that I could have had something to give them right away.<br /><br />I wish I had brought more yoga pants. Even after a c-section I wanted to be in my own clothes as soon as the catheter came out. I did not bring enough for changes and for the extra days bc I had emergency c-section.<br /><br /><strong>Was glad I packed...</strong><br />Comfy socks.<br />Chapstick<br />Depends (better than meshy panties and pads as big as a boat).<br />Some small toiletries (my own toothpaste)<br />Breastfeeding tank tops<br />Deodorant<br />Hair ties and clips<br />My boppy (my husband said we should buy two bc it was so very useful for his comfort and mine).<br />My e-reader...after I got the epidural I actually read a lot. <br />The laptop so that my husband could play his Internet poker for the 20 hours we were in labor and delivery. <br />Cell phones&nbsp;and chargers<br />Camera<br />BATTERIES! That camera sucked batteries like craaazy. <br /><br /><br /><strong>What I was glad they had at&nbsp;the hospital...</strong><br />I asked to pump so that I could get as much colostrum into my baby. He had low blood sugar and they started him on formula. I asked to pump so that I could give him all I had too. The nice bonus to asking to pump (even if you don't use it) is that they give you a kit with tubes and bottles and a hand pump that would cost you about fifty dollars to buy on Amazon. It was compatible with mine at home so its a huge bonus to have extra parts at no cost to you. <br /><br />They pretty much have everything that you need for baby at the hospital. No need to pack a lot for the baby. Just a car seat, outfit, and a blanket. They have everything else for baby care. Diapers, wipes, and all the goods are already there so no need to pack them. Bring the diaper bag though so that you can fill it with all the stuff to take home and use. <br /><br />A soothie pacifier for the car ride home. <br /><br /><span style="color: black;"><strong>Stuff that was actually pretty useful for me at home and stuff that just is not...</strong></span><br /><br />The baby does not like the co-sleeper or any means of sleeping separate from me or Dad. Okay, I will admit I don't like to sleep without baby either. He will sleep a bit in the swing as long as its not moving. <br /><br />I love my glider and I am glad that I put it in the family room where the TV is located. It does me no good in the nursery. Booooring. <br /><br />I actually love the wipe warmer. It seems frivolous but babies hate freezing cold but wipes in the middle of the night. Babies actually hate diaper changes in general but warm wipes make it a little more tolerable.<br /><br />Huge bottles of hand sanitizer in the living room and by the diaper changing table. My older son got his first cold of the year the day that we brought the new baby home. Everyone who has visited seems to be sick this week for some reason. I have been the sanitizer queen and I demand that all who enter all also well sanitized. My husband calls me the sanitizer nazi. <br /><br />Lots of blankets and onsies. This baby has had his share of blowouts and we go through about three onsies a night. We get a lot of crap on the blankets (both literal and figurative). <br /><br />A great pump I inherited. My sister in law gave me her medela pump in style. Its a great expensive pump that is really useful for stocking up on breast milk. I was leery about borrowed pumps but I must&nbsp;say after&nbsp;I used it&nbsp;I can see that its nearly impossible for&nbsp;any cross&nbsp;contamination with old breast milk. There is just no way with clean tubing that&nbsp;any breast milk could get into the motor and back into the bottle. I cleaned everything with alcohol when I got it but there is not a reason that I can see&nbsp;not to use a well taken care of used pump from&nbsp;someone close to you. &nbsp;Also, the&nbsp;medela breast milk storage&nbsp;bags are something that I went back and purchased bc they are so handy for freezing the milk for when I go back to work. <br /><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The baby did not need the fifty different pacis.

There are women out there that will tell you that it came so natural and it was so wonderful right from the start. I think that these women have amnesia. I think that they forget that their nipples are cracked and bleeding and that a baby needs fifty tries to get a latch that he likes that does not cause you to screech in pain. I love breastfeeding but I love it like training for a race. I love it like a really hard run. Its not easy but that's what makes it so awesome. There I am feeding my baby. He needs nothing else but my milk and I am doing it. I have managed to do it for one whole week! I am amazed and empowered by the fact that although not easy and totally consuming I am giving him the best start I can. <br /><br />When I had my first son I was a young mom. Still in college and back to school one week after birth. I had tried to breastfeed but I was not successful for long. There were possible physiological reasons that I was not successful such as him having a poor latch. Also, not enough time to establish the feeding from a breast before I had to start pumping. I have always felt guilty that I could not keep it up for as long as I would have liked. It was not fair&nbsp;that he and I could not have that.&nbsp;I actually shed tears of frustration over how hard it was and how I could not do it. I am determined not to have those same regrets with this little guy. I am not going to say its easy. Its also not going to be easy to pump at a job like mine teaching physical education to students with disabilities. If I have to work then I am going to surely give him my milk when I am gone. Easy or not... I am determined that we will do this for the next six months. <br /><br />Some things I have learned so far....<br />Breastfed babies need a lot of diapers. I am not kidding....A LOT.<br /><br />Their poop can be runny and that is normal, this is not diarrhea.<br /><br />It will take a lot of trial and error before you will get the latch thing right so that it does not hurt. <br /><br />Babies can have a favorite boob. <br /><br />When my milk came in I felt like I had the munchies for two days. <br /><br />Engorgement is not eased by pumping. You will just make more. Its fine for stocking up but not for milk reduction. <br /><br />Constipation and thirst go with breastfeeding. <br /><br />A sports watch is really handy when breastfeeding. Stop watch feature can tell you&nbsp;how long since the last feeding and how long baby is eating. No one will use those fancy timers at three am that you can buy for breastfeeding, the watch with indiglo is indispensable.Until wearing a watch I have only been able to tell what time it is by looking out my window. I just purchased a new timex that I am waiting to come in the mail. I can use it for all of the above and also when I return to exercise to time my first very slow miles. <br />I still look about four month pregnant but the rest of me is looking a lot more normal. I have put my wedding rings back on my finger. I have still not left the house (one week later) and I have no intention to do so until my appointment on Friday to look at my incision.halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754004259507821287.post-79764281999759927742011-10-14T06:50:00.000-07:002012-04-09T19:42:28.847-07:00Had that baby!I had the baby! Yay. Baby is good. Mom is good. Dad is good. Kids are ok. I say that the other kids (my other son (12) and step son (17) are just ok&nbsp;because this is honestly a huge adjustment. Both of them were used to having our undivided attention as "only" children. Now they must share the love, which I was not anticipating would be a huge issue because at these ages they have their own lives. But it is.&nbsp;We are looking to do something special for the boys like have Dad take them to a ball game. <br /><br />When I left the hospital I would say its true that I looked to be about six months pregnant. I am now looking about four months pregnant a week later. I spent a ton of money on the bellibands but I have not worn it regularly. Mostly because I am already pretty uncomfortable. I might try it today and see if it will help me with the pooch. <br /><br />I am starving because of the breast feeding. Kind friends have been dropping off meals that I devour. I ate about a half a pan of brownies in a breastfeeding state of delirium. Screaming newborn in one hand, shoveling brownies with the other. I sent my dear husband to the TraderJoes to pick me up some more reasonable treats. Such as the chocolate european style yogurt that I love. I also love to eat their pesto on the whole grain pasta. Yumm. So hopefully I can rein in the eating and then the breastfeeding might help me to lose the weight that I gained.<br /><br />I gained 45 pounds with this pregnancy. That is how much I am up from my pre-pregnancy weight. Here is a breakdown of weight according to the American Pregnancy Association...http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/eatingfortwo.html<br /><br /><h2>Where does all the extra weight go?</h2>Here is an approximate breakdown of your weight gain:<br /><ul><li class="closebullets">Baby: 7-8 pounds</li><li class="closebullets">Placenta: 1-2 pounds</li><li class="closebullets">Amniotic fluid: 2 pounds</li><li class="closebullets">Uterus: 2 pounds</li><li class="closebullets">Maternal breast tissue: 2 pounds</li><li class="closebullets">Maternal blood : 4 pounds</li><li class="closebullets">Fluids in maternal tissue: 4 pounds</li><li class="closebullets">Maternal fat and nutrient stores: 7 pounds</li></ul><div class="closebullets">According to my calculations I should lose about 25 pounds after having the baby right away. So really I am dealing with about 20 pounds to get rid of now that baby is born. </div><div class="closebullets"><br /></div><div class="closebullets">I originally had a goal to run the Turkey Trot but now I am thinking that is not reasonable because of the c-section. Now I am thinking that the more reasonable timetable would include the jingle bell run or the new years run. Maybe even the superbowl 5k. I will need to see how slow the return to running will be after the all clear in eight weeks. </div><div class="closebullets"><br /></div><div class="closebullets">My running background is not impressive by any means. I am a turtle. I like to run slow and long. I do dream of being a gazelle. But that would take speed-work and I hate speedwork. I run races for the fun and atmosphere. I also like to run races to give me a goal. I do not run races for time. Just to complete them. I would love to run a marathon next year. I have run a half marathon and I really thought that was a loooong way so I can not imagine doing it twice but I would like to have that notch on my belt. </div><div class="closebullets"><br /></div><div class="closebullets">I bought a great jogging stroller ( A Bobb) so I can not wait to bust it out when the weather is nice. I am going to buy myself the Ice queen skirt from Skirtsports right now because most of my training will be in the winter here and that is my push present to myself. It will be nice to look forward to a head clearing run (in about seven more weeks). </div>halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754004259507821287.post-67202559400049943922011-10-02T06:12:00.000-07:002012-04-09T19:42:28.882-07:00The last week and husky pants.There is no way to describe what pregnancy is like in the ninth month if you have not experienced it. It is so wonderful and exciting, and slooooow. My husband says that its the fourth quarter with 30 seconds to go. Somehow this has been the longest 30 seconds of my life. I am ready ready ready. Did I say ready? I am ready. I am 38 weeks and four days. My doctor is going to induce my on 39 weeks one day because my baby appears to be super sized. This does not surprise me because my diet has been less than optimal through the pregnancy. I have completely used pregnancy to give into my cravings. I ate an entire coffee cake yesterday. Its not that I lack will power, I am actually very disciplined if I set my mind. It's that I lack motivation. I just have been happy to eat what I want BC I knew no matter what there was no fighting the gain and change to my body in pregnancy. So change must come. <br />My family needs the change too. My son is what you would call Husky. We spent an entire day trying to find jeans that fit him. He is now in middle school, so&nbsp;they must be decent looking also. My son is "huskyer" than a normal husky. Thank you&nbsp;SEARS! After an entire day of shopping. We found&nbsp;four pairs of nice Levi's that actually fit.&nbsp;&nbsp;They carry different size husky clothes such as a 32x28 which fits him PERFECT! Husky is not a one size fits all thing and with kids being overweight these days I am surprised that more stores did not carry larger sizes. I know that the idea is that the kid should lose some weight but in the "in between" can't we just have a nice pair of jeans like everyone else?&nbsp;These are kids with self esteem issues already why should they have to look strange compared to their peers?&nbsp; <br />We are off today to watch my son play football. I plan on stopping by the apple orchard which is a mile away from the field. I am going to try to resist the donuts and go for the apples instead. If they have caramel apples all bets are&nbsp;off.halfprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15521499758813015086noreply@blogger.com0
